SANITARY .COVER 7. 2 .9 1 6,. l uw u A original Filed April 6. 1922 Jn'vcnhw Julius Kim GMINI the medium of a knob 18 and= asy the coverl ascends the cam facesof the ears-11 kand 12 will be moved towards each other, thereby vention, what I claim as new and desire to secure. by Letters 1 Patent, is:

setting up a frictiona] contact between said ears so that the cover will remain in elevated position until such time as itis again Vmanually lowered.

To more thoroughly protect the contents of thereceptacle, the upper edge ofthe V`frame 7 may be provided with a ygutter 19 with which co-operates a bead 20 depending 1' from the cover 2, therebyA forming amore erfectseal betweenthe cover and frame. y providing the spring lwasher 1n connectionfwith the bolt 15 the frictional engage- "ment between the ears 11 and 12 may be readily regulated by turning the nut 21 inwardly or outwardly onvthe bolt 15, the Atension of the spring washer'taling up any Wear lthat'may occur between .the ears or the frictionplate therebetween. This device when properly applied to the receptacle will thoroughly protect the contents thereof and at the same time will not exclude from view the contents of the receptacle, and by providing the frictional .contact between the ears the cover will remain in elevated or open position until such time as the proper amount of the contents of the receptacle has been removed.

i It will be evi-dent that the display cover herein disclosed may be used on receptacles and display devices of various shapes and is not limited to a receptacle having a` round opening at the top. It will be obvious also that various changes may be made in my device without departing from the spirit `of the invention and therefore I do not limit myself to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification but only as indicated inthe appended claims. Y

Having thus fully described my said in- 1. In a cover device for receptacles, a frame, a cover fitting over said frame, ears attached to said frame and cover, means for pivotally connecting the ears together. and means for setting up continuing frictional engagement between .saidV ears. While the cover is being raised to open position. i

2. In a cover construction, a frame, means for removably securing the 'frame to a receptacle, a cover for said frame, a transparent section in said cover, co-operating ears on said frame and cover, a bolt pivotally connecting t-he ears together, means for causing said ears to frictionally engage each other Vfor causing said ears tov 'rictionally engage each other as the cover is raised to open position, and a fibrous plate introduced between said ears.

4. In a cover construction, a frame, an ear on saidv frame, a cover associated with said frame, an ear' onsaid cover, means yfor pivotfor setting vup frictional engagement between is. raised through an arcuate path of 90 `whereby said cover lmay be supported in various positions within the limits of-the ally connectingthe ears together, and cam portions on the meeting faces of said' ears the ears, the friction continuing as'the cover I said arcuate path,'substantial1y as set forth. y

5. In combination, a receptacle for merchandise, a display cover therefor comprising a transparent section, means for connecting said receptacle and cover inclu-ding cooperating ears, a bolt pivotally connectingr` the ears, and rneansfor causing said ears to engage each other frictionally while the cover is being raised, said means yieldingly binding said ears against each other to support thecover in any position intermediate the closed and fully open positions, substantially as set forth.

6. In combination a receptacle for merchandise, a display cover thereforicomprising a transparent section, means for connecting said receptacle and cover including cooperatingjears, means for pivotally connecting said ears and means for setting up' continuingr frictional engagement between said ears while the cover is being raised to open position, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof Iy have hereunto set my hand at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvaniznthis 6 day of Jan., A. D. one thousand nine hun- JULiUs KIM.
